Does the admission of prior convictions at trial violate the double jeopardy clause?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hicks, 145 F.3d 1342 (9th Cir. 1998):
Hicks also contends that the admission of prior convictions at trial violated the double jeopardy clause. This contention lacks merit because the double jeopardy clause does not prohibit the admission of evidence. See United States v. Govro, 833 F.2d 135, 136 (9th Cir.1987) (stating generally that the double jeopardy clause bars retrial of the same offense).
